UPDATE: Porsche have responded to Meadow Walker’s lawsuit

Paul Walker passed away in November 2013 when the car he was a passenger in hit a tree before bursting into flames.

Just recently his teenage daughter Meadow filed a wrongful death lawsuits against Porsche. It claimed her father’s death was due a design flaw in the car he was in.

Lawyers for the 16-year old claim that the actor had survived the crash but suffered horrifically when he was trapped into the 2005 Carrera GT when it burst into flames.

Porsche have since released a statement which said:

"As we have said before, we are very sad whenever anyone is hurt in a Porsche vehicle, but we believe the authorities' reports in this case clearly establish that this tragic crash resulted from reckless driving and excessive speed."

Meadow’s lawyers have also claimed that car would not have lost control had it had a better stabilization system.

"The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car. It doesn't belong on the street. And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas," TMZ reports a member of Meadow’s legal team as saying.

Law enforcement at the time said that the car was going between 129 km/h and 150 km/h at the time of the accident. However, according to the lawsuit, Roger Rodas, the driver of the car, was going from 100 to 114 km/h.
